Afrofuturism: The World of Black Scifi and Fantasy Culture

3

AFROFUTURISM, The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture, from Ytasha L. Womack (a multimedia artist) will have you wanting to step on a star ship, meet androids, robots, extraterrestrials, and travel through time. Here one finds the cosmic and science fiction muse as a means for new rights, freedoms, and chances to save the world. There is acknowledgement here of the past that we have shared and hope to move beyond, but there is also hope, optimism, and wonder. This book which inspires dreams came at a good time with us needing to acknowledge the 500 year anniversary of Utopia (1516) from Thomas More this year. Afrofuturism reminds that not all of us have lost our capacity to dream.
